LRTI Surgery for Basal Joint Arthritis
I had Ligament Reconstruction Tendon Interposition (LRTI) surgery about a month ago to treat basal joint arthritis in my thumb. I am still having pain in the basal joint area and was wondering if there is anyone here who has had the same surgery and can tell me whether that is normal during the long recovery period. I have an appointment with my surgeon in a couple of weeks, but I would love to talk to someone else who has had the procedure. I
I have not had this surgery but did a little research on the web. I found an article indicating that the recovery time for this procedure is 6 months BUT I also found a testimonial from a patient who went through physical therapy following the procedure and was pain free and able to function well after 2 months.
I also found some medhelp threads on this subject - check out http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/426685. You might pm the two who had this surgery and see if you can get more information from them.
